Local Love! Charlotte Jewelry Designers in Real Simple
It's always a thrill to see local Charlotteans show up on the national stage... especially when it is in the pages of one of our favorite magazines. Today I was flipping through the July 2011 issue of Real Simple when not one but TWO captions caught my eye! The first was a pair of earrings by Erin McDermott, a lovely local gal whose jewelry we recently snagged for one of our bridal fashion features for the Fall/Winter 2011 issue of Charlotte Wedding, and then, on the following page, another pair of earrings from locally-based label Towne & Reese!
Have you spotted a local name in a major mag? Let us know so we can give them the Shop Talk Kudos they deserve, and be sure to check out Erin McDermott and Towne & Reese in this month's Real Simple.




Victoria Robinette reclaimed her Charlotte roots three years ago, when she returned from journalism school in Chapel Hill. She’s filled her post-college days hot on the Queen City fashion scene, writing and styling for Charlotte Wedding, Home+Garden, Where Charlotte and Charlotte magazine. Now, she’s taken the reins as style editor of Charlotte. She loves sky high wedges and cozy riding boots, pampering her two Yorkies, finishing sentences with “Seinfeld” lines, and putting everything on hold for Tar Heel basketball.
